Muhlenberg poll shows Sestak a mere 4 pts behind (46%-42%)

[catgirl]

Of course, it's fluctuating, but Sestak is solidly in the low forties now.

1. I'm rooting for Joe.

2. Here in PA...

I'm with Joe - he is our BEST option at this moment in time.

3. This would be a significant win if Joe can pull it out. Arlen's been in

the Senate since oh gosh, seems like forever -- since the Harding administration? Anyway, a long time.

My wish list includes a win by Joe in Pennsylvania and another by Halter in Arkansas.

4. I'm not confident Sestak can beat Toomey n/t

[w4rma]

5. He'll beat Toomey. (nt)

[totodeinhere]

6. I think he would be more likely to beat Toomey than Specter would. n/t

7. I think the oppositie is true ...

which is why Fast Eddie and the state party jumped on Specter like they did ...

But, I think Specter is a smarmy douchebag, and I am supporting Sestak for better or for worse ...

Have to have faith that a state that has seen the last three national elections go D by a good margin will see Toomey for the hard right lunatic he is ...

9. If "we" hadn't elected Santorum

I would agree that PA residents could see him for the lunatic that he is. But we did, so I see very real danger here. Given the ads Specter has placed against Sestak, imagine what Toomey will do in the Alabama that is central PA.

I'm really torn here. I want to support Sestak, but Specter will beat Toomey, and he's been decent for the state, if not for the nation. (isn't there a hair-pulling smilie somewhere?)

8. It may not be true that if I post something again in this thread in

favor of Joe he'll prevail in the primary against Arlen.

But I wish there were a direct correlation.

I'd love it if Pennsylvania Democrats showed Arlen the door and went with Joe against Toomey.

10. Specter is running a rather vicious negative ad against Sestak.

He must be getting worried.
